Coroner's Verdict in Hendrick
' son and Erickson Cases
CORE DETAILS OF TRAGEDY
it Oak Creek, Last Salnrday Horning
Wbeo Cbas. Hendrickson Killed
-''' Ida Eilcksun
Investigation by a coroner's jury
last Saturday afternoon of the mur
der of Miss Ida Erickson, of Oak
Greek, and the suicide of her slayer,
Charles Hendrickson, a few minutes
later, developed but very few facts In
relation to that tragic affair in ad
dition to those included in The Re
view's reports published that day in
our special and regular editions.
The coroner's jury, consisting of E
A. Hinkle, J. P. Strador, Alex Thorn
J. Tnorton, J. f. strader, Alex Thorn
ton, Frank O. Micelll, John J. Ker
naa and Wm. J. Thornton, was em
panelled by Justice John T. Long,
acting bb coroner in the absence of
Coroner N. T. Jewett, who was hold
ing an Inquest at Yoncalla. Also
participating in the Inquest were K.
B. Hermann, deputy district attor
ney, and Dr. E. V. Hooveri-as ex
amining physician. Upon arrival at
the scene of the tragedy about 3
o'clock p. m., Hendrlckson's body was
found where it had fallen when he
fired the shot which ended his life,
sjveral hours before. Examination
fftrach body by the physician showed
that In both Instances the bullet had
entered Just to the left of the center
of the breast and ranged slightly to
the left and lodged under the skin
Just below the shoulder blade, pierc
ing the heart. The two wounds were
remarkable in their similarity, be
ing almost exactly In the same spot
on each body, and death must have
followed in a few minutes in each
case.
Charles Erickson, father of the de
ceased 'oung lady, repeated to the
Jury tu$ story of his first knowledge
of the tragedy when his younger
daughter, Miss Lena, aged 17 years,
and his litt' -on, Johnny, aged 9,
came runni Into the harvest held
not long jr seven o'clock that
morning, crying that Ida had been
shot. Reference to the family rec
ord shows that Miss Ida would have
been 22 years of age on September
7, 1909. He said that Hendrickson.
f slayer, was his nephew and that
1 rfT the past year or two, at least,
Hendrickson had wished to marry
her. This he opposed as he did not
believe cousins should marry, ani
further that Hendrickson was not the
kind of a man he would want his
daughter to wed. Also that he had
forbidden Hendrickson to ever come
Into his house again in July. 1908.
The suitor, however, remained In
the neighborhood or in some not dis
tant part of the county most of the
time until about the latter part of
last March, when he went to Port
land. Since that time Mr. Erickson
knew nothing definite of the where
abouts of Hendrickson until on the
evening before the tragedy he learn
ed that the latter had been at his
house during the day erdeavoring to
get Miss Ida to "make up with him
and get married. This she had de
clined to do and had given him hack
the watch and ring which he bad
sent her from Portland. This watch.
It has since been learned, had Hen
drlckson's photograph Inside of the
back opening of the case.
Otto Erickson, brother of the de
ceased, who was working with his
,'ather ln-the harvest Held when the
tragedy occurred, told the Jury of
Beveral incidents connected with the
affair. He was first to reach the
house after the shooting, having ran
faster than any other member of the
family returning from the field. He
found his sister lying in the hallway
between the dining room and kitchen,
A face turned somewhat downward and
still breathing slightly. He picked

Cousin Otto.
, I will not live any more. I cannot
do it because Ida has gone back on

Farewell.
After this was the writing of some
other person, which resembled that
f Ida Erickson. It said:
"He has said he would not live If
he could not believe in me, and ft is
the snme with me. I gave him my
word and that settled It."
Neither of these notes, both writ
ten on the same sheet of paper, was
signed, but appear to have been writ
ten by Hendrickson and Miss Erick-
Bon.

to Return, so Coroner Jewett
Semis Olllcer for Him.
Holding the verdict of his jury iu
ibeyauce. Coroner Jewett is endeav
)ring to locate Albert Bacon, who
ast Friday morning shot and killed
ne of his three hunting companions,
Vlarshall D. Ferguson, near Elkhead,"
ive miles east of Yoncalla. After as
sisting In carrying Ferguson's body
'jack to Yoncalla, Bacon left there
Friday evening, stating that he would
eturn the following day to attend
he inquest. He failed to put in an
ippearnnce as he had promised and
he supposition is1 that be went to
vhere his wife and three children are
aid to bo camped, four miles from
r,ottage Grove. Coroner Jewett, af-
er a conference with District Attor
ney Brown, telephoned to a Cottage
"Irove officer this morping to secure
liicon, If possible, and bring him to
Yoncalla by next Wednesday. , .
The jury which was empanelled
'or the inquest consists or A. C.
loore. E. Helliwell, J. McCourt, G.
. Banyan, C. H. Ditugherty and Wm.
llckerson. Tbey have heard all of
he evidence In the. case except the
nost Important, which Bacon alone
an supply. The two men who were
vith Bacon and Ferguson when the
ragedy occurred are K. LaFleur, of
Yoncalla. and Albert Brumfteld, of
Cottage Grove.
A correct account of the shooting,
brought here by Coroner Jewett, dif
fers In some details from first re
lorts. Tho four men comprising the
hunting part were ascending a moun
tain In spread formaticn, when Bacon
nlstook Ferguson for a deer and laid
'llm low with one shot from his rifle.
What makes Bacon's blunder all the
Tiore Inexcusable is that tne iour
men, just before beginning their as
ent of the mountain, came to an un
derstanding among themselves that
neither of them would Are a shot un
til positive of what they were shoot
ing at. Twenty minutes after this
self-imposed injunction Ferguson was
i corpse.
The bullet which ended Ferguson's
life entered his back, just off the
point of the right shoulder blade.
Exit was in the left breast, between
'he heart and breast bone.

- The number present at the draw

over 1000 people being in attend

over the affair, addressed the crowd
briefly, saying:
. '.'No one can tell one envelope fron

SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 9. The
Hooevelt policy for Irrigation and
reclamation of arid lands Is expected
to precipitate a clash between Dal
llnger and Plnchot at the Seventeenth
National Irrigation Congress, which
opened here today. Halllnger, while
not opposing Roosevelt's policies In
their entirety, made some changes.
This has aroused Plnchot's opposition
Iloth men will meet before the con
gress, and the adherents will light It
out on the floor. Each side U deter
mined to place the congress on rec
ord for its own particular plan.
Favors Ijumber Tariff.
That the lumber tariff is necessary
In forest preservation was the argu
ment of Governor Marlon r . flay, or
Washington, at the opening of tie
congress today. He said:
"Those who advocate free lumber
are unquestionably honest In their
attitude and are inspired with a be
lief that such reductions In the tar
iff or removal thereof will have the j
eneci or greauy lowering uie ui
forest products to the consumers. 1
am convinced that these premises are
wrong. Possibly for a short period
following reduction of the tariff and
consequent admission of Canadian
competition, a slight reduction In the
cost of forest products to the con
sumer might take place. This would
be but temporary, for the conditions
which have been forcing up the price
of lumber In this country are rapidly
finding a parallel In Canada and
British Columbia. The real cause of
the rise In prices is to be found In
the diminishing forest area. If the
tariff Is removed or materially re
duced the competition that will fol
low will hasten the depletion of our
own and forests of neighboring
countries. The price will become pro
hibitive to the home-buiirter. t'on
Kosilon In tenement districts will
take place and deplorable conditions
eilstlnF In nortlons of the Old World
will follow. Fully three-fourths of
the ancient standing limber of the
country is owned by corporations and
th difference In the price of labor
In the United States and Canada
would smother the Industry In this
country. There are 1. 300.000 peo
ple employed In the lunfter Industry
in this country alone."
I Favor Itond Plnn.
I Praising the work of the Reclama
tion Service and the Bureau of For
estry, demanding government bonds
for the Improvement of the national
waterways and for the enlargement
of the reclamation service and de
manding the regulation of the water
power monopoly. Oeorge K. Barstow.
of Texas, president of the congress,
sounded the keynote of Its Issues iu
the opening address of today's ses
sion. "The preservation of our forests la
the foundation principle of all the
valuable objects that we seek to at
tain," he said. "And than which
nothing is more important today to
our country's commercial and indus
trial life."
The object of the congress, declar
ed Barstow, Is to marshal the forces
that seek the betterment of the coun
try for the overthrow of the elements
that seek to destroy through greed.
"As illustrative of this principle,"
he declared, "I desire to direct the
attention of tills congress to the ques
tion of a wise and Just federal or
legislative control of the water power
companies inhabiting our nation, es
pecially by limiting the time for
which their rights are granted."
"The voice of the people of our
entire nation demands," he declared,
"that the reclamation fund shall be
forthwith supplemented by the crea
tion and sale from time to time of
gold bonds In the total sum of five
hundred million dollars In order
that much more rapid work may pro
ceed In reclaiming swamp lands and
the Improvement of rivers. This is
not time to halt or disband."

13 drill teamB entered In the prise
competition of the Grand Circle, Wo
